COMMENTS
The a(n) terms of this sequence can be constructed with the terms of sequence A049666. For the terms of the periodical sequence of the continued fraction for sqrt(125) see A010186. We observe that its period is five. - Johannes W. Meijer, Jun 12 2010

FORMULA
a(5*n) = A049666(3*n+1), a(5*n+1) = (A049666(3*n+2) - A049666(3*n+1))/2, a(5*n+2) = (A049666(3*n+2)+A049666(3*n+1))/2, a(5*n+3):= A049666(3*n+2) and a(5*n+4) = A049666(3*n+3)/2. - Johannes W. Meijer, Jun 12 2010
G.f.: -(x^8 -5*x^7 +6*x^6 -11*x^5 +61*x^4 +11*x^3 +6*x^2 +5*x +1) / ((x^2 +4*x -1)*(x^4 -7*x^3 +19*x^2 -3*x +1)*(x^4 +3*x^3 +19*x^2 +7*x +1)). - Colin Barker, Nov 12 2013
a(n) = 1364*a(n-5) + a(n-10). - Vincenzo Librandi, Dec 13 2013
